Frequently asked questions
What are the key output differences?
The VC-Dot 4 delivers 18.8 lumens per pixel (6 candela intensity) optimized for close-range video mapping. The ELP CL produces 6,900 lumens in High Output mode, designed for beam projection across large distances. The ELP CL is significantly brighter for spotlighting; the VC-Dot 4 excels at distributed surface lighting.
Which is better for theater lighting?
The ELP CL is purpose-built for theatrical use with ellipsoidal optics, interchangeable lens tubes, and precision focus mechanisms. The VC-Dot 4 is suited to video mapping effects and creative installations rather than traditional theatrical spotlighting.
What control and protocol options does each support?
The VC-Dot 4 supports Martin P3 protocol or DMX512 via IP67 connector, with 16-bit or 8-bit resolution. The ELP CL uses DMX512-A and RDM via 5-pin connector with 1, 10, or 17-channel modes, plus standalone operation. Both are fully controllable but the ELP CL offers more dimming curves and PWM frequency adjustment.
Can either be used outdoors?
The VC-Dot 4 has IP67-rated cable and can be deployed indoors or outdoors. The ELP CL body is designed for indoor installations; Martin specifies it for indoor environments, so outdoor use would require verification or protective housing.
